I've read the whole series three times. Good stuff. I saw O'Brian on one of those "meet the author" PBS shows. What a nervy, little, full of himself, chauvanist he was. Too bad he passed away. I liked him, the bugger. Right now I'm reading "The Game". I don't know what to make of it. Sure wish I could do what these guys say they're doing. What a shot in the arm it must be.
